However, Southeast Lauderdale High School countered with runs in each of the first three innings to tie things up, before adding three runs in the fourth inning to take a 6-3 lead.

St. Andrew's responded with a Baylor Obert ground-rule double to cut the margin to two runs. The next batter, Daniel Briner, singled to left, and the Saints gave the green light to Obert, who was tagged out at home.

Southeast Lauderdale seized momentum from that defensive play and went on to a 16-6 win, forcing a decisive Game 3 on Saturday.
